"Perfect for me"

What I like:

Almost everything - the jog dial in particular is great

What I don't like:

The camera could be better

Review:

Admittedly, I've spent the last year tweaking and modding the phone (Opera 9.5, Fring, the W960i's Walkman player, etc.), but it's now so good that my Xperia is in the process of being sold. Once you get used to the keyboard, you'll find that it's far quicker than any touch-screen out there and far easier to use than the Xperia's monstrosity of a keyboard.
The push e-mail support for Gmail is superb, the speakerphone loud and clear, and even with heavy usage I still get a minimum of two days between charges.
The fact that you can now buy a new P1i for £150 makes it even better. If mine breaks, I'll be buying a new one straight away.
